Unnecessary taxation are schemes Oh so

president @shall, from time to time, give TO
the congress information OF the state OF the
Union" 1t has been the custom OF tne e&-
e~cutive, in compliance with this provision,
to annually exhibit TO the congress at the
Openiug of it's sess,2n, the, general condition
of the country, and to detail, with some par
ticularity, the operations OF the dlferenb
executive departments. 1t would be espeo-
tally agreeable to follow this course at the
present time, and to call attention TO the
valuable accomplishments Of these depart
ments during the last fiscal year. But am
SO much impressed with the paramount i'm
portance of the subject to which this COM
munication has thus far been de-
voted, that 1 shall forego the
addition of any other topic, and
only urge upon your immediate considera-
ton the state of the Union" as shown in
the present condition of our treasury and
our general fiscal condition, upon which
every element of our safety and prosperity
depends. The reports of the heads OF depart
ments, which will be submitted, contain full
and explicit touching the trans
actions of the business intrusted to them,
and such recommendations relating to legis-
lation in the public interest as they deem
advisable. | ask for these reports and rec

government There are other subjects not
embraced in the departmental repOrta de-
handing legislative consideration and which
/ should be glad to submit Some Of them,
however, have been earnestly presented in
previous messages, and as to them, l beg
leave to repeat prior recommendations AS
the law makes NO provision for any report
from the department of state, a brief history
of the transactions of that important depart
ment, together with other matters which it
may hereafter be deemed essential to COM
mend to the attention of the congress, may
furnish the occasion for a future m
